CD: Osho Nataraj Meditation

This is a 65-minute dancing meditation in three stages, with specifically created music. The music supports the energy and activity described in each stage of the meditation, and also signals the timing of each stage. A silent stage is part of most Osho Active Meditations, and when the meditation ends with silence, the end of the silence will be signalled with a bell or gong. Description: Disappearing in the dance, then relaxing into silence and stillness is the route inside for this method. “Forget the dancer, the centre of the ego; become the dance. That is the meditation. Dance so deeply that you forget completely that �you� are dancing and begin to feel that you are the dance. The division must disappear; then it becomes a meditation. If the division is there, then it is an exercise: good, healthy, but it cannot be said to be spiritual. It is just a simple dance. Dance is good in itself � as far as it goes it is good. After it, you will feel fresh, young. But it is not meditation yet. The dancer must go, until only the dance remains�. Don't stand aside, don't be an observer. Participate! And be playful. Remember the word playful always � with me it is very basic.” Osho First Stage: Dancing, 45 minutes With eyes closed, dance as if possessed. Let your unconscious take over completely. Do not control your movements or witness what is happening. Just be totally in the dance. Second Stage: Lying, 15 minutes Keeping your eyes closed, lie down immediately. Be silent and still. Third Stage: Dance and Celebrate, 5 minutes Dance in celebration and enjoy.
